[Q] ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v4 question

I want to install the ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v4 . but I found there are many ways to install it , odin and cwm
I have both , but somebody said they have trouble to flash in Cwm and some others said there are some mini error happened when they use the odin way. which way is more safe to flash the ClockworkMod touch instead of my non touch CWM.
if i flash with CWM, the touch will replace the CWM, or they will both installed on my phone???

I've always used Odin with no problems. To my knowledge you can't flash a recovery from a recovery. You could use rom manager from the market if your rooted but I hear bad things about using rom manager to flash clockwork. My advice use Odin

please take a look
i agree with you that we can not to flash a recovery with another recover. however, please take a look the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954
the first one is a zip file and the instruction said
( Just flash in CWM
- this one creates the .hidenandroidprogress file for you so you dont need to create it manually)
what is that mean??
i have already flash the non touch CWM on my phone, is it ok to flash this touch with odin , do i need to wipe the data or something i need to be careful before i flash, please let me know. i did not find a instruction detail with that.

Some phones you have to create that file and some you don't. On mine when creating a backup it would hang up. So what I did was flash in Odin the recovery image then installed the zip thru cwm then wipe cache and dalvick cache... also it is important that you have the latest version of busybox installed...
Try flashing the recovery in Odin first and if all works well then don't do anything else but if it hangs on making a backup then do what I said above... if you get stumped just let me know and I'll try to walk you thru it

i only rooted with the method on the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
so the result is i am rooted with cwm installed
and now i want to install the sky ics and the first step is to install the touch recover.
so as you said before. can i just use odin to install the recorvery.tar.md5?? do i need to wipe or do something else?? if i get something wrong, can i use my nandriodrid backup to restore the current recovery?? i am really a noob and new with andriod. thanks in advance.

1. Yes you can just use Odin and flash cwm touch. I had an earlier version installed and wanted to update so I just cranked up Odin 1.85 click PDA navigate to where you downloaded the tar file make sure repartition is NOT checked and flash away.
2. All you are flashing is a recovery image so no need to wipe anything.
3. Yes if something goes wrong you should be able to restore your backup or if you wanted you could look in the dev section and find the Odin one click 2.3.5 att stock firmware and flash it and start over. But that is not necessary. However I do recommend you download the phones stock firmware from sammobile.com and store it on your PC just in case you ever need it for any reason....
OK I think I covered everything so if you need anymore help let me know and as always happy flashing....
Oh btw flashing is very addictive. I'm a flashaholic... so flash at your own risk

[Q] How to uninstall clockworkmod recovery?

I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 [GT-P3113]
I just flashed cwm recovery on it and rooted it, I've just wanted to try and uninstall clockworkmod and go back to stock recovery, I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything for my tab model.
I'm running android 4.0.4, didn't flash any ROMs yet.

Thanks, I have some questions because I coudln't post a reply to that post.
-I live in egypt and I bought my tab from the US, this rom is for the US so should I flash it normally? (will I get the OTA updates)?
-should I backup my data and so? (sorry it's my first device)

You should get ota's as its 100% stock. As far as flashing it no need to backup anything. You won't have root or cwr to use your backup. Flash via Odin and you should be good to go.

*I done that for my Galaxy Ace, I believe should be the same.
reverting back to Stock from CWM all you need is Odin and stock firmware which able to obtain from sammobile.
flash is with stock ROM via Odin will bring everything back to stock. *after flash, make sure swipe your data & cache OTHERWISE it will stuck and become boot-loop.

I did flash the stock ROM and recovery via odin, and it worked perfectly, thanks for the info thought because once I forgot to wipe data and it was stuck on boot-loop till I reached recovery mode.
I meant isn't there a normal way to go back to android recovery without flashing new ROM?

Can't really have stock recovery AND root... seeing as you install root via CWM
Besides you can do way more with CWM over stock.

and also the unroot package

Create a new thread,don't post on an old one.

If you are rooted with custom recovery you can flash only the stock recovery using mobile odin.

i have karbonn smart tab 10 (cosmic) .i have installed twrp recovery on my tab. but i cant find any zip files when i go into recovery and twrp is not working properly.i cant even root my tab. i want to go back to original recovery.please help.

Do you have a P5100 , P5110 or P5113 ? It don´t sounds like!
If not - don´t use this files! This might brick your device!
If you don´t have a P51XX you need to find a Stock-Recovery or Custom-Recovery for your Device.
If you have P51XX download and flash a StockRom - or extract the recover.img inside the XXX_HOME.tar.md5 and make it Odin-Flashable using this tool and flash it with Odin.

Errors when updating on Samsung Galaxy Fit

My Samsung Galaxy Fit version was 2.3.4. I wanted to update it to 4. I found Cyanogen Mod but it didn't support my phone. I rooted my phone properly.:victory: I installed TWRP and flashed this ROM(from xda-developers.com) and Google Apps from the same post. Everything went OK.:laugh: Now, when I turn on my phone, Cyanogen Mod blue splash screen shows and two blue screens are spinning. After some searching I found that I got a loop. Now I cannot do anything with the phone. One of solutions that came to my mind is to flash a recovery(stock) ROM, but I can not find it anywhere for my model. The original, stock version is 2.3.3. I updated it via settings in Android.
What can I do now? To sum things up:
I have got a Cyanogen Mod loop
I cannot find stock image for my phone model
I do not know what to do!:crying:
EDIT: I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42924000#post42924000. I will try it and post what happened.

Hmmm i think you must find stock rom. Stock rom for galaxy fit is dxkt7.
Flash again with odin.

Now, I have a backup, if anything goes wrong, and I have version 2.4.6. Gingerbread.
You wrote I can flash stock ROM via Odin. I am just curios, how to do that? I have Odin multi downloader 4.42. I am asking this because I could flash Android 4 from there instead of CWM or TWRP(never again).
Anyway, thank you for answers.

The rom u flashed is slightly modified(for cwm) with some tweaks which r not there in samsung stock roms(like max upto 787Mhz, init.d tweaks etc...) However, the real original way to flash Gingerbread for galaxy fit is via Odin. Android 4 isn't officially supported for FIT so it's only custom supported in the form of CM10.x custom roms & hence, can't b flashed via odin.

[Q] Help using CWM!

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?

Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

Yes, I already knew, I tried to install CWM 5..

I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:

Here you can get stock ROM :

Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

4.- I got CWM 5 with Odin
6.- Updated CWM to the 6.0.4.5 version.
7.-I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.4 version
I actually was able to get into recovery mode, but the thing is that I didn't know how to get into it... lol
I am doing this as an experimet because I don't use the Fit as a phone, so... what should I do next?

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.

how to flash twrp over cwm..?

I am using SGT 2 7.0.. and forr using sensonic hd rom I need to flash twrp but I am already rooted with cwm... need help urgently... thnkx.. keep the good work goin guys...

There should be a flashable zip that you can run in cwm to install twrp.
If not you can use Odin or Mobile Odin to flash recovery.
There is a free version of mobile Odin I've used, you need to install a file but it guides you through.
Ill try to find links but I'm on my phone so if you have a PC it may be faster.
